CNN host Alisyn Camerota suggested just hours before the Ohio State University attack Monday that Americans should wear hijabs to show solidarity with Muslims.

Camerota was responding to a CNN story about anti-Muslim sentiment that placed part of the blame at the feet of President-elect Donald Trump.

A Muslim American woman, Marwa Abdelghani, explained to CNN regarding Trump, “When you hold that kind of position and you think it is OK to make these racist, Islamophobic, sexist statements, there are people, unfortunately, as crazy as they are who look up to you and they will follow you, and they will act out in response to what you’re saying.”

While she was talking on screen the chyron below her read: “The Trump Transition: Fearful Muslim Women Take Steps To Be Safe.”

It is not clear exactly which position Trump holds that would be considered “Islamophobic.” Following the San Bernardino, Calif., terrorist attacks last December, he called for a temporary ban on Muslims entering the country, which he modified last summer to require “extreme vetting” of anyone entering from regions with known terrorist activity against the United States or its allies.

When the story ended during an early morning broadcast on CNN’s New Day, Camerota said, “Maybe there will be a movement where people wear the head scarf in solidarity. You know, even if you’re not Muslim.”

“Maybe it’s the way people shave their heads, you know, sometimes in solidarity with somebody who is going through something,” she added.

The Ohio State University attacker, 18-year-old Somali refugee Abdul Razak Ali Artan, did not blame Trump but rather the media for how Muslims are portrayed.

“I wanted to pray in the open, but I was kind of scared with everything going on in the media. I’m a Muslim, it’s not what the media portrays me to be. If people look at me, a Muslim praying, I don’t know what they’re going to think,” he told the campus newspaper, The Lantern, in August.

“But I don’t blame them. It’s the media that put that picture in their heads so they’re just going to have it and it, it’s going to make them feel uncomfortable. I was kind of scared right now. But I just did it. I relied on God. I went over to the corner and just prayed,” Artan added.

In a Facebook post just minutes before his attack, Artan reportedly vented “anger at the United States, cited the persecution of Rohingya Muslims in Burma and name-checked radical cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, calling him a ‘hero,'” according to NBC News.

While CNN’s Camerota suggested Monday that Americans should wear hijabs, the network apparently instructed one of its on-air personalities not to wear a cross.

Lara Baldesarra, who hosted sports segments for CNN until April of last year, tweeted on Sunday:

Baldesarra has also been forthright in her views about radical Islam. Following the Nice, France, terrorist attack in July, she tweeted: “Why call it ‘terrorism’? Just call it Radical Islamism. It’s hate, it’s death, it’s an ideology – and this is it at work.”
